If you’ve ever flown out of NAIA and thought, “There has to be an easier way,” you’re not alone. That’s exactly why more travelers (myself included) are starting to look north—to Clark International Airport (CRK). And now, getting there from Metro Manila is even simpler thanks to the extended Genesis P2P route from Cubao to Clark.
Here’s everything you need to know, in plain and simple terms.

Why More Travelers Are Choosing Clark Airport
Let’s be honest—Clark is just less stressful.
Compared to NAIA, Clark feels calmer from the moment you step inside. Lines are shorter, processing is smoother, and there’s none of that overwhelming terminal chaos we’ve all learned to tolerate in Manila. You don’t feel rushed, squeezed, or constantly checking your watch.
Another big reason? More flights are moving to Clark. Cebu Pacific, for example, has already shifted all Siargao flights and several turboprop routes from NAIA to Clark. That’s a clear sign Clark is becoming a serious alternative, not just a backup airport.
Genesis P2P: Cubao to Clark Made Easy
This is where the Genesis P2P bus service comes in—and honestly, it’s a game-changer.
For ₱310 per passenger, you get a direct, comfortable ride from Cubao straight to Clark International Airport. No transfers. No guessing which bus to take next. Just sit down and let the bus do the work.
The service runs daily, with trips starting early in the morning and going all the way to late-night arrivals—perfect whether you’re catching a sunrise flight or landing close to midnight.
Route Breakdown (Northbound & Southbound)
Here’s how the route works:
Northbound (Going to Clark):
Cubao Terminal → TriNoma (pick-up) → Clark International Airport
Southbound (Going back to Manila):
Clark Airport Terminal 2 → SM City Clark (Transport Hub) → Cubao Terminal
It’s straightforward, well-organized, and designed with travelers in mind.
Pick-up and Drop-off Points (So You Don’t Get Lost)
- Cubao: Genesis Terminal along EDSA corner New York Street
- TriNoma: Pick-up is behind the TriNoma parking area
- Clark Airport: Buses operate at Terminal 2
- SM City Clark: Stop is at the Transport Hub near the main gate
If you’ve taken P2P buses before, this setup will feel very familiar.
A Quick Note About Schedules
One thing to remember: each trip shows two times.
- The first time is the departure from the main terminal (Cubao or Clark).
- The second time is the expected departure from the intermediate stop (TriNoma or SM City Clark).
Also, like most transport services, schedules can change without prior notice. Before heading out, it’s always smart to check the Genesis Transport Service Facebook page for the latest updates.
